Get more from your SEO
SpiderDog is an all-in-one SEO audit platform for agencies, consultants, and in-house teams who need reliable data without the bloat. If you offer SEO services, run an SEO agency, or manage SEO for a growing company, these guides will help you get the most from every feature.
Our documentation covers the full SEO workflow. Start with the Getting Started guide to run your first crawl. Then move into keyword research to find terms your audience is searching for — from high-volume head terms like “seo tools” and “seo services” to local opportunities like “seo services near me” and “seo company near me”. Use competitor analysis to see who is winning those searches and where the gaps are. Track your progress with rank tracking, and keep technical health in check with scheduled audits.
Whether you need enterprise SEO tools, a white-label SEO firm solution, or a simple way to monitor your own site, SpiderDog gives you the reports, metrics, and workflows to move faster.
What each guide covers
The Getting Started guide walks through account setup, adding your first domain, choosing crawl settings, and reading the health score. It also explains how to schedule recurring audits so new technical problems are caught before they affect rankings.
The Keyword Research Guide shows how to interpret search volume, keyword difficulty, and trend data. You will learn how to build a keyword list, export it to CSV, and check whether your site already covers each term or needs new content.
The Competitor Analysis Guide teaches you to compare competing domains side by side, identify keyword overlap, and spot ranking gaps you can close with better pages or stronger content.
The Rank Tracking Guide covers adding keywords, selecting the right Google market (location, language, and device), and reading position history charts. It also explains how to spot ranking cannibalization and when to consolidate overlapping pages.
Who SpiderDog is built for
SpiderDog is built for anyone responsible for organic search performance. SEO agencies use it to run white-label audits for clients. In-house teams use it to monitor releases and migrations. Consultants use it to prioritize recommendations with clear, evidence-backed reports. Solo site owners use it to find quick wins without learning a complex enterprise tool.
No matter your role, the goal is the same: catch technical SEO issues early, focus on the fixes that move rankings, and spend less time wrestling with data. These guides are here to help you do exactly that.
